Raiders don’t get mad, they get even
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Sunday, October 31st, 2010 at 7:18 pm in Oakland Raiders.
The heck with getting mad. The Raiders instead got even.
They’re 4-4 on Nov. 1, the first time they’ve seen .500 this late in the season since 2002, and we all know where they ended up that year.
How is this happening?
By being accountable to themselves and not worrying about bad press, bad officiating or shrinking attendance.
Even before the Raiders piled on the points and stats late in a 33-3 win over the Seattle Seahawks Sunday, it was a more impressive win than the previous week’s 59-14 win over the Denver Broncos for a lot of reasons.
It was happening at home, where the Raiders strangely have played worse than they have on the road in recent years.
It happened after a couple of failed opportunities in the red zone to open the game, and turn the clock back a couple of weeks against the 49ers to see how it affected the Raiders that day.
It happened against a Seattle team that entered the game at 4-2 in the NFC West. A weak division to be sure, and the Seahawks aren’t an imposing team.
But the Raiders correctly diagnosed the Seahawks problems perfectly and then took them apart with a picture perfect game plan in all three phases.
It would have been as big a win at 17-3 as it was 33-3 simply because it meant back-to-back wins going into the Kansas City game next week.
The Raiders, for the first time in seven years, are relevant again.
Their fan base will no doubt bring the “no respect theme’’ hard and heavy, but it would behoove the Raiders to handle it exactly as they have so far _ by assessing their strengths, improving their weaknesses and enjoying improvement as a total entitity.
Taking a moment to relive the days of a decade ago driving the kids on vacation to some distant locale, the question arises, “Are we there yet?’’
“No, no, we’re getting there, we’re getting there,’’ Raiders coach Tom Cable said. “It’s great to win this game and get to 4-4. It’s great to win two in a row _ which wasn’t really talked about this week _ and it’s just good to know there’s a lot more football in this team. It’s also disappointing that we are 4-4, to be quite honest with you.’’
More, news, notes, quotes and observations:
— Cable said X-rays on Nnamdi Asomugha’s ankle were negative and that he didn’t know the severity. It didn’t look good.
Just judging from how it looked, I’d be surprised to see him ready to face the Chiefs. He left the game earlier with a hand injury that was wrapped up and returned.
— Monster offensive stats in a game that didn’t look to be headed that way. The Raiders ended with 545 yards of total offense. That’s 1,053 yards in the last two games and a combined score of 92-17. The first time ever going back to back with 500 yards.
Darren McFadden gained 29 yards on his first 12 carries and then 82 on his last nine carries to finish with 111 yards on 21 attempts, highlighted by a 49-yard run.
The Raiders rushed for 239 yards on 39 attempts. Bush had a 30-yard gain, Reece had a 31-yard gain, Darrius Heyward-Bey a 30-yard run with a reverse.
— Passing? How about Jason Campbell going 15 of 27 for 310 yards and two touchdowns, a fourth-and-1 30-yard dart to Reece and a 69-yard strike to Heyward-Bey, who had five catches for 105 yards.
In case you were wondering, Cable says Bruce Gradkowski is the quarterback when healthy. He was throwing 20-yard passes in pregame and was designated as No. 3.
The guess here is Campbell faces the Chiefs.
“Coach Cable came to us the night before the Denver game and said, said, ‘No more ‘what if’, shoulda’, coulda’, woulda’, and throw it out the window. Let’s create things. Let’s try to make things happen,’ ‘’ Campbell said.
“He said, `Just cut it loose.’ Don’t worry about pressuring yourself to make every play worrying about being perfect. Just play ball.’ And I think it kind of won the team over.’’
Campbell even took out tough-guy safety Lawyer Milloy on a reverse to Jacoby Ford which gained 13 yards.
“I’m used to being the one getting hit. To lay one on someone else, it felt good,” Campbell said. “Kyle Boller told me that I should take those pants home because I had a little blood on them.”
— The Raiders had four players with more than 100 yards of combined rushing and receiving _ McFadden (135), Heyward-Bey (135), Reece (122) and Michael Bush (106).
— With the Seahawks missing left tackle Russell Okung and defensive tackle Brandon Mebane due to injury, the Raiders dominated both sides of the line of scrimmage.
Seattle managed just 47 yards rushing on 19 carries, with Marshawn Lynch getting 7 yards on nine carries in his homecoming _ including a 7-yard gain.
With the run choked off, Matt Hasselbeck never had a chance. He was harassed into a 13-for-32 performance and was sacked eight times.
Richard Seymour and Kamerion Wimbley had two sacks each. Tyvon Branch, Matt Shaughnessy, Tommy Kelly and Lamarr Houston had one each.
“It’s like a snowball effect. I get one, he gets one, everybody wants to get one,’’ Kelly said. “It’s like, can’t let them have all the fun. Everybody wants one.”
The Raiders did some blitzing, but it wasn’t necessary to go overboard because the natural pressure was more than Seattle could deal with.
Shaughnessy is giving the Raiders some of their best defensive end play in years. McClain and Houston have made quantum leaps over the last three games.
“I would say the significant strides started three weeks ago,’’ Cable said. “I think the presence of both of those guys is significantly improved. They’re getting it. And you have to talk about Matt Shaughnessy on the other side. He’s doing a heck of a job. I think getting Trevor Scott settled in again at end has really helped us. We have a nice rotation at end.’’
– Quote of the day by Seattle coach Pete Carroll: “We accomplished nothing in any aspect of football.’’
A 1-for-16 performance on third down conversions would be a part of that.
– Reece may not be the best fullback in football, but he is the most unique.
That he has no peer athletically at position which favors plow horses has been evident for some time. Offensive coordinator Hue Jackson is finding more and more ways to get him involved.
— Highlight of the day _ fans on my live chat giving Hue Jackson grief for the fourth-and-1 pass to Reece for a 30-yard touchdown. A perfect pass, a gutsy play executed flawlessly.
Blind luck,said some. Risky and lucky.
Honestly, some people ought to sit back and enjoy the ride. It hasn’t been like this for seven years and there’s no guarantee it will continue, so why not enjoy a decent bottom line for a change?
— Are the Raiders suddenly the NFL’s most fortunate team? Campbell’s pass off the knee of Heyward-Bey which resulted in a 55-yard pass play to Michael Bush was even luckier than Tyvon Branch’s interception which Deon Butler pushed into the air while making a valiant attempt at a reception.
Of course, Stanford Routt originally broke up the pass to Butler that ended up in Branch’s hands.
And, as Cable said, “Good teams get breaks. They make their breaks because of how hard they’re playing.’’
— Reserve tackle Khalif Barnes, who has become a blocking tight end in run formations, has been bragging during open locker room to the media about his skills as a receiver.
He caught his first NFL pass in the first quarter from Campbell and gained six yards.
“Good ball security,’’ Cable deadpanned. “I’d like to see him get more yards. He could have, too.’’

Lefty, we can play this game forever. You can accuse people of being hurt by the win, people can accuse you of being a homer with your head in the clouds, in complete denial of the past 7 years. Why don’t we just bypass the personal insults and discuss football? Make our cases as to why or why not we think something will or will not happen?

This is championship caliber D we have out there. I mean they completely destroyed Denver and Seattle. I was very impressed with the D today.
————————–
I wouldn’t jump the gun yet. This is the same D that we were all complaining about earlier in the season. The fact is, they just defeated two teams who have no real running game. When they shut down Phillip Rivers or Chris Johnson, then we can call them a championship caliber defense. This weeks game against the Chiefs will give us a good indication how much the run D has improved. Charles is pretty damn good.

“The Raiders, for the first time in seven years, are relevant again.”
Music to my eyes
October 31st, 2010 at 7:25 pm
the first half felt really ugly. it’s hard to believe that this week provided more yardage than last week. whatever the case may be, i’m not complaining. a win is a win is a win. still annoying to think we should be 5-3 and with half a compitent game plan against sf 6-2.
nevertheless, raiders win. cowboys lose. 9ers… well, 2 out of 3 isn’t too bad.
October 31st, 2010 at 7:26 pm
Jerry often mentions how the good raiders teams always overcame the biased officiating and won.
This team did that today when the game was still kinda there for the Seahawks to make it interesting. With those 3 consecutive BS calls on 3rd down, and then officials hoping to overturn the Branch interception, and also the Brown kick-off return.
Instead, Raiders ate it up and kept devouring the Seahawks. Team now believes. Raiders 8-0 from here.

Jason Campbell comeback player of the year leading Raiders to their 4th Super Bowl title.
October 31st, 2010 at 7:28 pm
AB,
Those teams are still NFL teams. They are not led by Jawalrus. They have legit QB’s who are at least avg starters in this league. The D completely owned them. I mean they made both of those teams look like the 2009 Jalwarus led Raiders vs the Giants/Houston/Jets.
They got criticized for sucking and they will get complimented when they do well. Just like DHB and JC. when they suck we call them out. When they play well, we should give them credits.

They said it best on NFL Playbook …
Gardowski believes in himself more than Campbell does.
BUT …..
The way the defense has played the last 2 weeks, Camplunkett’s “game managing” style can actually work for us.
If our defense falls off, Gardowski would probably be the better choice.
October 31st, 2010 at 7:28 pm
Ask Warren Sapp what Al is capable of doing to the team’s belief.
October 31st, 2010 at 7:31 pm
Crister,
What you’re seeing is what we saw with a good team vs a bad team. A bad team hangs on close but eventually the good team wears them down. I have to say that the Raiders have entered the hot team category. It’s not what you did 4 weeks ago. What matters is what we are doing right now. We are 100% different on the D from the first game of the season or vs Houston.

“It’s also disappointing that we are 4-4, to be quite honest with you.’’
Definitely should be 5-3. Those adversities tho have helped shape the hunger and fight in this team now tho.
“The first time ever going back to back with 500 yards.”
Hue Jackson must get his dues here. “EVER”. Hue really starting to crank it up and play with his toys more.
“‘No more ‘what if’, shoulda’, coulda’, woulda’, and throw it out the window. Let’s create things. Let’s try to make things happen,’ ‘’ Campbell said.”
Cable and whole coaching staff and Al Davis get a big round of applause….because it’s apparent Davis has eased off and is letting the coaches just coach the team and schemes. So apparent on defense especially (a pet-Davis meddling). When Davis steps back it shows the coaches CAN bring out the best in the players and be highly prepared.
October 31st, 2010 at 7:39 pm
GG, I have a feeling that Davis is just too old and tired to get involved in meddling.
October 31st, 2010 at 7:39 pm
Lefty, it doesn’t hurt at all. But tell me, what to the Raiders get for today’s win, other than being .500? AFC title? SB title? Division title? Playoff birth? Wild card birth? Anything? No. Just a .500 record. Yet you’re acting like the team just accomplished something today that could actually be made into a t shirt. Go ahead, make a t shirt that has today’s score on the front of it, with a picture of the Raider kid pissing on a seahawk helmet. See how much in awe Saints fans are.
October 31st, 2010 at 7:42 pm
People gave me a lot of grief in here about DHB last night well what say you know? I’ll say it again give the young guy some credit he’s working his tail off. No he’s not the complete rec. yet and wont be for some time but he’s a lot better than most of you give him.
He should’ve had 2 long Td’s but Campbell underthrew him both times he just adjusted better to the other one and scored.
Marcel Reece is a matchup nightmare, no one has a FB with his skill-set. His ability to catch passes and run makes him a huge concern for defenses. They canno just focus on DMC and Bush because Reece is a playmaker. I waited 2 years for that guy to do what I thought he could do. He was a WR in college at 235lbs.
So all the DHB haters can shut up for one week at least……………….thank you for your time.

Nobody in the league is going to be happy with this part of the season. However, it’s how you win right now that shows what kind of team you are. We are playing very very very well right now.
October 31st, 2010 at 7:43 pm
Cheer up,they are bound to lose more games this year so you won’t have to be miserable every week.HAHAHAHA
October 31st, 2010 at 7:44 pm
It’s weird to think that nobody in the league is playing as hot as we are right now. Wow it has been so long.
October 31st, 2010 at 7:45 pm
Lefty, I have no reason to be angry. You can tell people to cheer up all you want to. Raiders are still at the .500 mark, still have a long way to go before clinching a playoff birth, still have one of the worst GM’s in the modern day game meddling over the coaching staff. I’m fine. The Raiders still have issues.
October 31st, 2010 at 7:46 pm
Reese reminds me of Hewitt Dixon.

KC 5-2. Raiders need the W next week.
Oh, how big that missed FG in Arizona is looking.
October 31st, 2010 at 7:49 pm
I think if you really look between the lines you can see Davis was meddling this season and then backing off, then meddled, then now has finally backed off completely.
Raiders pathetic playing same ole way early, coaches get to do bit more (say 50:50) result a sloppy win, a sloppy loss, Davis meddles again, Raiders look woeful and vanilla, Davis backs off, Raiders look ok winning (Chargers, blitzing), Davis backs off more and you see last two games schematically coaches are FREE, they look and sound in control.
Look at those early Cable PC’s…he was deflecting, being a shill, never admitting players injured or playing bad, kind of disowned from the coaching process “yeah i dunno” etc. Then after the Chargers game, Cable takes responsibility “we’re gonna do what we think to win”, and from then on Cable’s talk and PC shows a coaching staff in control of most everything. Also includes players cut and signed off practice squad, benchings made at half-time (Campbell), etc etc.
October 31st, 2010 at 7:50 pm
GG, it’s simple. Why hasn’t Al retired from football operations, and hired a GM?

Good for Cable and Co. getting these players to work hard. And hit hard. Seven long years and we’re back on track.
October 31st, 2010 at 7:51 pm
Only one team scoring more points overall than the Raiders.
Raiders have scored 212 so far. Titans 224. Not bad.
Unfortunately only six teams have given up more points than the Raiders.
But one thing to consider is that they gave up most of those points in the first six games.
So there’s great improvement.
They beat KC and they’re over the hump.
October 31st, 2010 at 7:52 pm
Outrageous! Tgere are still people talking about grads?!?!? He has done squat. Jc has led us to 92 points, and almost 1100 yds, with no turnovers! You gotta be kidding me. Grads should never find his way off the bench as long as the ne sheriff is healthy.
October 31st, 2010 at 7:53 pm

Al And His Minions, Davis is still in control of the roster. I only said he probably doesn’t have the energy to meddle with coaching decisions.
October 31st, 2010 at 7:58 pm
Some of you worried “semi pro” poster were worried about the WR’s stepping up….What say you now???
October 31st, 2010 at 7:59 pm
Minions…
Yeah i agree. Davis meddles. Like all owners do. But he’s notoriously more of a meddler, and his age/health doesnt change that. His meddling isnt like preparing the team and being hands-on 24/7. He just forces his will/wishes on coaches, “no blitzing”, or “only man cover, its the Raider way”, or “start Campbell even tho he’s not ready yet playbook-wise”, or “Figurs is a great returner, get ovah it”, etc etc. Just restricting coaches from being able to properly manage to an industry-standard extent…a game-plan, personnel, starters, substitutions, schemes, etc.
October 31st, 2010 at 7:59 pm
KC is a very one dimensional team. They run the football, and they do it very well. We stop the run, and they will be added to the string of impressive wins in a row for the NATTION…
October 31st, 2010 at 8:01 pm
This game today should have been a bigger blow out…
To manny gaffes in the red however, i expect us to blow KC out…39-10…
October 31st, 2010 at 8:01 pm
I seriously doubt Al is done meddling with coaches, A.B. Paine. He’s notorious for being one of the most meddlesome owners in all of sports. When he retires, I’ll be convinced of it.
October 31st, 2010 at 8:02 pm
Congrats Nation on a sweet win.
October 31st, 2010 at 8:02 pm
GG, I simply don’t buy your theory. And what I meant by Al being a meddler is that he meddles FAR MORE than other owners. I think Al meddles even more than Jerry.
October 31st, 2010 at 8:03 pm
I agree that JC should be our QB, because our 2 best games were our last 2 games and theres no need to mix things up now.
that being said, if JC comes out playing scared, pull his a$$ fast.
I think our team can go further wit JC at QB, and is better for the Raiders future
October 31st, 2010 at 8:03 pm
Last point all of you that question JFORD’s ability get to the back of the bus…. Before he was injuried had 2 3rd and long catches to keep drives alive…
JFORD <——-Maker
October 31st, 2010 at 8:03 pm
Not hating on Al at all, he did plenty great still this off-season, all the draft picks and other acquisitions (players and some of the coaching staff). He gets his dues for being a GM, doing what GMs do, and then backing off to let his coaches coach to the extent they feel they need to get the team turned around.
Everyone gets a round of applause, people all doing their jobs and letting others do their jobs, and a real belief and sense of relief that the chain of command (accountability) is there. Players are really absorbing the information and teamwork is evident from top to bottom. Not GM/Owner locking horns with coaches and coaches with players.
October 31st, 2010 at 8:04 pm
DHb has played two good games. Two touchdowns does not make him a good player.
October 31st, 2010 at 8:05 pm
I won’t be convinced that Al’s even scaled back on his meddling until he retires. How can any sane person believe that Al doesn’t meddle when he effectively has no GM of his team? He is the GM as long as there isn’t an official one. As long as Al’s there, he’s meddling. And far more so than other owners. I don’t know why some of you even bother trying to convince people otherwise. You’re trying to sell bottled water next to a drinking fountain.
October 31st, 2010 at 8:05 pm
that being said, if JC comes out playing scared, pull his a$$ fast.
+++++++++++++
He is playing with a lot of confidence, doubt he goes back to that mode…Keep in mind this was a new offense for him…Takes time to gel with the new players, new team, new city…I am happy with both our QB’s…
October 31st, 2010 at 8:06 pm
DHB is still an unnatural receiver and he lets the ball get into him..He cannot go up and snatch a ball over someone..so relax..I would still rather have taken an OT with the 7th pick.
October 31st, 2010 at 8:08 pm
DHB had a money game, needs to string a few of those togather… He also stepped up with all the injuries we have suffered to a WR’s corps…Great game DHB…
October 31st, 2010 at 8:10 pm
If DHB keeps working hard, maybe he will be as great as James Jett:

October 31st, 2010 at 8:11 pm
DHB stepped up as a #1 receiver today. A day like today is just another step in his development. Murphy out, he had to be the man. Obviously, there’s plenty of room for development, a very high ceiling he has, where one day he’ll be like the focal point in the passing game, like a Reggie Wayne, QB constantly looking his way and throwing his way, dependent on for first downs and redzone TDs.
October 31st, 2010 at 8:13 pm
nevertheless, raiders win. cowboys lose. 9ers… well, 2 out of 3 isn’t too bad.

Yeah, the freakin’ Cowpies. I’m out here in Chicago and EVERY single Dallas gane has been televised. Even todays game against flippin’ Jacksonville was a headliner. I called the TV station and complained about why they keep shoving the dam Cowgirls down our throats every darn week.
I mean why should freakin’ Jacksonville at Dallas be a headliner?
I think EVERY single game of Dallas has been and will be televised this year.

It’s his team, MR. That’s how this world works. You make something yours, through hard work or deceit, and you can do with it what you will. The team is Al’s, and it has been since 1963. It’s like complaining that Mick Jagger and Keith Richards should leave the Stones, because their albums after Exile on Mainstreet aren’t up to par. So what? They’re the f^%king Stones.

Also, karma is not what comes around goes around. Karma is the energy you give off. When you give off positive energy, you get it in return. That’s basically what it is. Leave it to today’s victim society however to somehow invoke karma into their incessant need to see their past abusers meet their demise, or a good thing happening to them. Has nothing to do with that. The only effect karma could possibly have on sports is players feeding off of each others’ energy, forming a positive synergy, so to speak. Has nothing to do with winning or losing.
October 31st, 2010 at 8:20 pm
Wow.
When did I say the Raiders weren’t Al’s team?
The Patriots are Bob Kraft’s team, too. Yet he lets Belichick coach. And let’s the GM do his job.
So, evidently it’s not “how the world works”. Meddling owners is how things work in Oakland, and it’s why they’ve sucked for 7 years straight. Maybe 8. We’ll see next week, won’t we?
The comparison you made to the music biz is just ridiculous.
October 31st, 2010 at 8:28 pm
Priest I see you finally showed up. Good game to DHB. Like I said when he caught the TD:
The Sun shines on a dog’s ass every once in a while.
Go Raiders!
October 31st, 2010 at 8:29 pm
Ridiculous is comparing Bob Kraft to Al Davis. Bob Kraft was a season ticket holder in the paper and packaging business. He was a fan. Not a coach in the NFL. I wouldn’t expect him to meddle – it’s Bob Kraft. And if that’s the model you respect, then by all means switch allegiance and follow the Patriots. Al Davis has never operated in any other fashion. If you don’t like his approach, why did you ever become a fan in the first place? THAT makes no sense.

What the hell. media talks about cowpies no matter what! Why their good why their bad. Media STFU about cowpies already they suck ass.
October 31st, 2010 at 8:43 pm
Hey,
Let’s devote an entire mini-series about 1-6 teams that have come back and won championships.
What IS wrong with the Cowboys and why there is still reason to have hope for this season. Tonight on DATELINE.
October 31st, 2010 at 8:45 pm
Yeeeeeeeeeeeah Buddy…..had to drop in real quick to say Happy Halloween to ya’ll…….Great win…..I’m loving the way the front 7 has been dominating lately….
Lets smash on the Chiefs……
1 Nation, a million bleeders, lets get it…..

One more cowpie blast. They one one playoff game in how long? Why are they relevent?

Wow.
When did I say the Raiders weren’t Al’s team?
The Patriots are Bob Kraft’s team, too. Yet he lets Belichick coach. And let’s the GM do his job.
So, evidently it’s not “how the world works”. Meddling owners is how things work in Oakland, and it’s why they’ve sucked for 7 years straight. Maybe 8. We’ll see next week, won’t we?
The comparison you made to the music biz is just ridiculous.

October 31st, 2010 at 8:52 pm
we will show the world next week the queefs are not that good. we will run all over their a$$ and have another day like today. Cassel blows as does the rest of that overrated team.
October 31st, 2010 at 8:52 pm
Al hand picks the players. But I trust him with that more than most GMs. Al will never pick three straight WRS in the first round. Al would rather sign his players than watch them sit out half the season. Al seems to find talent throughout the draft.
He also picked our Coach.
October 31st, 2010 at 8:53 pm
LMFAO!
RMR pissing in his own cheerios.
Was great to be at the game today. Good win.
Lets hope Nnamdi is good by Sunday, and this train keeps on moving in the right direction. KC must get beat down.
Also Wimbley had a great game.

October 31st, 2010 at 8:55 pm
Very humorous reading how people think they have a freakin idea of what the owner of this team does and doesn’t do when in actuality they have no freakin clue.
Al Davis is doing exasctly what he has always done every week in or out. He is the owner and decides what players play here or don’t then the coaches coach them.
It’s like one dumbell after the next trying to predict who will be the next millionaire and who wont for how long.
Just shut the hell up because none of you know a damn thing about what that man does or doesn’t do. Shut up!!
All Al Davis prognosticators think when we’re losing he’s meddling and when we’re winning he’s not and biuld your dimbass theories around that ignorant ass assumption.
Just shut up already!!!
October 31st, 2010 at 8:55 pm

Good win Raider Nation can enjoy another week after victory. Must put beat down on chefs.
October 31st, 2010 at 9:06 pm
Damn Priest, u alittle angry today huh???. but i agree with u tho, in most of what ur saying. Al davis does deserve alot of credit for assembling this team, they are a talented team. But alot of blame goes on him for drafting jamarcus, which honeslty was his fault, being that the raiders needed a QB, and he was the best one according to the scouts.
But even tho the raiders are winning, they arent doing it the Al davis’s way. The def is alot more exotic in the schemes and offensively, the are not beating teams with the 50 yard bombs…
I give credit to the organization, but esp to Al for letting his coaches coach. It does seem as if, that is marshall’s def and hue’s offense,rather then AL’s team
October 31st, 2010 at 9:07 pm
Oakland didn’t allow a first down until more than 27 minutes into the game, had eight sacks and gave up just 162 yards of offense, including 47 on the ground.

October 31st, 2010 at 9:11 pm
DaTruth91
I’ve never heard a coach come out and say he didn’t let me coach so where does this theory come from and it’s been here since Madden. They said he didn’t let Madden coach but if you ask Madden he says just the opposite. Same with Flores same with Art Shell, Shanahan and Gruden and all the rest. They started by calling Joh Maden a puppet. Where does it end? It never will because it’s a MYTH!!
October 31st, 2010 at 9:12 pm
Whatever your feelings are about Davis none of us are Raider fans because of who the owner is. You might have several reasons as to why you’re a Raider fan but I highly doubt it’s cause who owns the team. That being sais it’s tough because no quality coach wants to work with Davis.
October 31st, 2010 at 9:12 pm
He was a coach himself he coached the way he wanted to, when he hires a coach he interviews then himself to see if he likes what they bring t the table once he hires them it is because he LIKES what they do or else he wouldn’t HIRE THEM…………….period
October 31st, 2010 at 9:13 pm
damn good game for me to go to today. that whole stadium was rockin.expect a sellout for the chefs next week. i can understand why cable wants grads cuz watchin jc live is worse than on tv. his whole make up is slower than u like but he made enuff plays to win it. as nice as this win is im very upset at all the points and yards left out there. call me greedy but we shouldve had 40 points and about 600 yards. i want to completely embarrass fools. didnt understand why hujack didnt give the ball to dmc on the 1rst 3 drives. DMC has his best rushing day last week and he purposely avoids him. DAMMITT HUE, SET THE DAMN TONE OUT THERE!!!
October 31st, 2010 at 9:14 pm
What’s up Nation!!!!! Wow, I think we saw the start if something special here. That was an impressive outing all around.
And this is the second time (starting with the Denver game)I have stayed away from the blog during the game. I think I might have to continue that habit.

Love this quote and attitude:
“Good ball security,’’ Cable deadpanned. “I’d like to see him get more yards. He could have, too.’’
Tommy C getting on the reserve tackle for not busting loose on a reception. Gotta love it.
Game ball to the d-line. One of the most dominant games by a Raiders d-line I can remember since I first became a fan of the team when Howie and Alzado were getting after it.
O-line deserves major respect as well.
And Hue Jackman’s stock is like Google right now. I think we’re just about leading the league in points scored. After the last few seasons … are you f-ing kidding me?
Great game by my Raiders.
October 31st, 2010 at 9:20 pm
I think about the only thing that concerned me was that the D dominated but the game was only 13-0 at the end of the 3rd qtr. We need to put more points up early and close the game out early. I didnt feel like Sea could anything at 13-0 but it still is only 2 TD’s away. Hopefully we can knock out the Chefs early next week.
October 31st, 2010 at 9:20 pm
Priest,
you will never here a coach come out and say that, there to loyal to the raiders. but facts are facts. the raiders on avg are blitzing more then the ever had.
and also the Al controlls the drafts and the facts are he drafts fast wr’s, and likes big armed QB’s, so just by his drafting methods, the raiders are built to throw the deep ball, but we throw over 50 yards less then any team. I dnt believe everthing the media says about Al, but this raiders team is def not only personal wise but scheme wise
October 31st, 2010 at 9:20 pm
People keep running their mouths about what Mr Davis likes or doesn’t like. If he didn’t like what a coach does he would NEVER HIRE the guy. It’s not like he has a gun to his head saying hire me or else.
He hired Hue jackson because he likes what he brings to the table the same Marshall and for someone to insinuate otherwise is lunacy………..period

I hear you, but you’ve gotta anticipate Seattle was going to load up and try to stop the run. Can’t argue with the approach under that scope. Still ran the ball for well over 200 yards. So Hue got it going.
October 31st, 2010 at 9:22 pm
this is how scary this team is. over 1000 yards and 92 points scored with 13 sacks and 17 points allowed the last 2 weeks.all of this with several injuries and inconsistant playcalling/execution. thats not including games against sf houston and arizona. we are clearly more of 6-2 type of team tho we do deserve our record. the potential to be better is right there. that sd game wasnt a fluke. our st’s helped win that game along with our offense.we are able to win in all 3 phases of the game. thats what good teams do. sd puts up fantasy numbers but dont do everything to win. now lets whip kfc and get healthy after the bye week.

_________________
I kind of differ from this opinion. On defense our safeties still play up. That’s a Davis Hallmark. We still run a lot of Man, but we disguise it better.
On Offense the WRs run similar routes to days of old. However, they do such a great job of taking the top off, we have screens open all day.
October 31st, 2010 at 9:24 pm
hopefully the raiders dont start drinking too much kool aid…KC is coming to the bay to try to run it down our throat with 3 good rbs.
October 31st, 2010 at 9:24 pm
Armond,
Not sure if you caught my post earlier before you left for the game but I want to apologize for calling you a homer. Bro, I’ve watched your posts lately and you’re pretty fair. I think I got you mixed in with Debo and Priest last year on Jawalrus.
In any case, I agree with your post 102 I would have liked us getting more points than just 13 goign into the 4th. You are so lucky to be at the game today. The Dline dominated.
October 31st, 2010 at 9:25 pm

The Raiders are not blitzing more than they ever have they have blitzed more thanthis in the past. Just because YOU don’t know that doesn’t make you right.
In the late 70’s and early 80’s they blitzed a ton. But peple keep saying they never have so it takes precedence over the facts.
It’s like when he hired Mike Shananhan at the presser he said I want to being something new to the organization so he hired this young kid who never had anything to do with the orhanization smethjing he had not done up to that time. Nut he let Mike coach his style with ZBS and role outs and the shotgun. which peple don’t know he still iisn’t crazy about but we do it.
October 31st, 2010 at 9:28 pm

October 31st, 2010 at 9:29 pm
chris im not tryin to biotch 2 much but he just annoys the hell out of me. i feel hujackman holds this offense back 2 much. there were openings over the middle on some of those 3rd downs that we missed goin down the sideline. he put no wrs over there. jc also had dmc open for a few dumpoffs that wouldve got atleast 15 yds. the offense could run smoother if he tighten up his sh!t. its time to get greedy and impose our will on teams. what happenend to all of those screens we ran in the preseason? chris i was at the game and let me tell u, the screen was there all day.
October 31st, 2010 at 9:29 pm
I know today we used the front4 more tha the blitz but most peple don’t even know that much because they see the sack #’s and assume we blitzzed a ton and we didn’t.
October 31st, 2010 at 9:29 pm
One thing I will give Jacoby is he is physical for his size. Last week I saw him finishing his blocks on runs. Today he put his shoulder down rather than running out of bounds. Brother is a tough smurf.

This week’s focus needs to be on how to finish drives with 7 points instead of 3. We’ve left a lot of points on the field and have not capitalized on all of our opportunities. We’ve now won 2 in a row. Kind of sounds like a pathetic goal but look how hard it was to accomplish. Let’s shoot for that 3rd win in a row and no injuries. One game at a time for now.
See what happens when you play NMILLER, you win! Every time NMILLER plays we win. We must keep playing him. It would be nice to see him have an opportunity to break a few PR’s.

Fair points. And you being at the game definitely have a better feel for that stuff than what I can see on TV. But it’s hard to get after the o-coordinator after putting up 92 points in two games. Particularly after watching total ineptitude with that unit for several seasons, well before JaMarcus, where it was a struggle to get 10 ppg.
October 31st, 2010 at 9:33 pm
aig its all good man.im a raider fan 1rst and homer 2nd. i give anybody i see with talent a chance to prove themselves even if im 2 stubborn let it go. just my nature. priest and debo aint homers like u think but they can speak for themselves. them damn 3rd downs was gettin on every1’s nerves. we couldve really done a number on them.
October 31st, 2010 at 9:33 pm
Unbelievable how many people around here (so called Raider fans) so obviously would prefer that the Raiders lose.
October 31st, 2010 at 9:34 pm
For the first time in a long while it seems like we have a 53 man roster full of players, and guys are working hard to get their chance on the field, and when called upon are stepping up and getting it done…
that’s all i care about, whoever is out there at any position is ready to play and has the skill set to get it done…playing for each other and backing up your teammates, been a long time coming!
Now it’s time to take care of the Chiefs!
October 31st, 2010 at 9:35 pm
Bottom line, the O executes better. That is as big a part of coaching as playcalling.
October 31st, 2010 at 9:35 pm
jhill!!! u would come in now talkin sh!t but the raiders saved my azz so i dont care. curry being hurt didnt help and we missed way 2 many open jumpers. however that doesnt mean that the dubs arent improved. we’ll get yall next time but for now we just gotta get at the grizzlies.
October 31st, 2010 at 9:36 pm
screens were there. All of us were calling for it all day at the Memphis Booster Club. I dont know why Hue didnt call them more. Even if Hue doesnt trust JC, he should just call for screens. We got playmakers. The problem has been getting the ball in their hands. Everytime Reece or Dmac gets the ball something good happens.
October 31st, 2010 at 9:36 pm
Armond on those 1st couple of series we got stopped before we could get DMC invlved more than we did. I liked the playcalling I didn’t like the execution as much. JC had a lot of passes knocked down at the LOS. That’s why the screens weren’t used much. You have to give credit to the other team.
They were stuffing DMC early as well he didn’t really break iopen untill the second half. The seachickens stopped the run really well at first. DHB’s reverse was the biggest run play until the second half.
October 31st, 2010 at 9:38 pm

yeah hujack has his moments but i just dont like the guy. i will give him credit for several things but there are some obvious flaws he has that stops us from being better. love that play to reece for the td and that endaround (finally) to dhb. we had plenty of plays where we were 1 block away from a long td.

Huge Win. The Defense really seems to have bonded. That’s a physical D-Line, Lamar Houston holds that edge. The Offense spreading it around. Congrat’s DHB.
Playing to win.
October 31st, 2010 at 9:55 pm
Armond
I can’t see for the life of me what you don’t like about Hujack I like this offense better han any out there right now. You hav eto understand he is still learing these players and he’s going to have some bad games as a result of that. We don’t have Payton Manning at QB and we haven’t had any consistency at QB so to expect much more i don’t know if it’s realistic. DMC wasn’t DMC untill this year, our execution early in the year was terrible.
The timing between QB and WR is a slow process most times and he’s starting to put it all together. They knew that Seattle was good vs the run so ythat’s what I think he was doing is tryin to spread them out.
October 31st, 2010 at 9:57 pm
KK looks like I was right again DHB was being trampled on in here by you guy’s well he stepped up when he needed to. Anything else?

What does that mean?
I know you weren’t talking about the dubs winning a ring, so what do the Lakers have to do with a conversation about the Ws knocking off one of the top 8 teams?
I think I’m pretty objective.
I agree that the Ws were better the minute they got rid of Nellie. Just think you are a legit big man away from talking playoffs.

They wnat to establish DMC more than we do but you have to give credit to the defense.

KK i agree Hiustn and Veldheer are having an impact on this team. Ware played decent today as well. Mike mitchell played very well and JFord’s improvement is remarkable thus far.
October 31st, 2010 at 10:13 pm
That missed kick in AZ is looking bigger than ever, but I don’t think it will matter if we pull out a wins vs the Chiefs this week.
They were able to pretty much shutdown Fitzpatrick who was playing very well in previous weeks.
I also loved Lynch getting under 1 yard per carry. Does anyone think McFadden could have had a TD if he decided to just keep running to the right instead of weaving back to the left on the long run he had?
October 31st, 2010 at 10:14 pm
Thanks AB III.
October 31st, 2010 at 10:19 pm
Houston did better today and is a rookie, but that should not be an excute for him. He is borderline content and that ideology does not favor him in this game.
October 31st, 2010 at 10:21 pm
Content? Houston is content? and you know this how? Are you a mind reader???
October 31st, 2010 at 10:27 pm
Guy, you are correct, DMAC could have scored if he had gone right.
But he did well…
October 31st, 2010 at 10:31 pm
priest:
so u mean to tell me the game against SD we blitzed the same amount as we usually do?
Raiders ARE blitzing more than the have in the last 7 years and these arent facts,jus based on sacks, its based on run def and the fact that we have a top 5 pass def.
McClain shows blitz or comes half of his snaps, and just the aliegnment of faking a blitz is def then the raiders ” obv send 4″ drop seven.
I mean explain to me how we have had numerous coaches in the last 7 years and yet, just now we have our best CB (nnamdi) shadow the opponents best wr.
I give al respect,but the raiders def alignments, blitzing, and even shadowing of the best wr, are not AL’s ideas.
October 31st, 2010 at 10:32 pm
You can say I am but I am not a mind reader. Half of the Raiders season has been discontent. The other half has not. Reason ask how is He raised. let’s see if the second half of his season speaks for itself.
October 31st, 2010 at 10:35 pm
Priest, Also I did hint in him preforming better today. Did You?
October 31st, 2010 at 10:36 pm
DaTruth I don’t care about the last 7 years this prganizaation has been around for 50 YEARS son why d you guy’s base everything on the last 7 years. We have been a heavy blitz team many times in the past…………period it denpends on the coach and what HE feels will work……………….period
Now you can believe whatever crap you want but those are the facts.
They always have been the coaches ideas that is what I’m teelling you son. And further more do you know Al Davis personally? hw do you know what are his and what are not?
You dn’t know crap so just shut up and enjoy the games forget about the owner enjoy the games…….period
October 31st, 2010 at 10:42 pm
Kirk, I’m still happy with McFadden’s performance. 100+ yards on over 5 yards a carry against the #2 rush defense is a very good day. Hes number 6 in the NFL after missing 2 games, I hopefully he can stay healthy and make the pro bowl.
October 31st, 2010 at 10:53 pm
IS IT LIKE, DOES PRIESTTJ HAVE TO MANY BEFORE EACH BLOGGING OR IS THERE SOME OTHER EXCUSE FOR HIM. Do you love the Raiders or hate em.Priesttj speak clearly.
October 31st, 2010 at 11:04 pm
Do you have a Brain or do you not speak clearly?
The statement you made about Houston was presumptuous and I called you on it………..period
October 31st, 2010 at 11:06 pm
People come on here and start spouting BS that someone else said like it is fact when in reality nothing could be further from the truth.That will get Priest going every time.
October 31st, 2010 at 11:06 pm
Priest,What did you call me on?
October 31st, 2010 at 11:12 pm
For the longest time people on here have biotched about DHBs lack of production.Some said it is because he hasn’t been targeted by our QB.these people told how wrong they were.Well,i think today proved they were on to something.Get him the ball and good things will happen.It is these types of things that bother many of us.
October 31st, 2010 at 11:14 pm

Lefty12 you know me too well, It makes me sick. And they do it with such arrogance. Like I know Mr Davis, ‘I just got off the phone with Al Davis and this is what he said’.
These so called common facts are no more than guy’s repeating rumors, because they want to sound insightful but they don’t know what else to say.
2romes you said Houston was content did you not? and I asked how you knew that.
October 31st, 2010 at 11:15 pm
Enjoy the back to back wins Raider Nation! Have a great week!
October 31st, 2010 at 11:16 pm
There really needs to be just positive vibes right now, guys. Anybody critical of Hue Jackson at this point is crazy. I saw more end arounds and screen passes today than I have in the last 7 years combined. The guy knows how to mix up the defense, and that’s why he’s our offensive coordinator. He is a huge reason why we have had 2 HUGE games in a row. Those of you who call yourself Raider fans (and live in the area), need to save some money and get out there next Sunday! We want to see a sell out so the entire Bay Area can see that the Silver and Black is back!
October 31st, 2010 at 11:21 pm
Lefty12 today DHB displayed how he can catch the football outside of his body as well as cradle it. If they throw to him accurately he can be a big part of this offense.
October 31st, 2010 at 11:21 pm
Priest,we don’t agree on everything but we can have conversations about the team because we agree about throwing BS that has no merit into discussions.You call guys on it more than I do,but we feel the same way about it.
October 31st, 2010 at 11:25 pm
One of the greatest sports days in my life, Giants 1 win from WS, Lakers destroy Dubs and 10-31-10 My Raiders became relevant again. Watching the Dline made me feel like a kid when Townsend,Long,Alzado just killed fools.
GO RAIDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 31st, 2010 at 11:25 pm
I actually think it might have been good for the team that Murphy was out today.It forced JC to go to his other WRs,specifically DHB.JC was getting too dependent on Murphy and wouldn’t look elsewhere(concerning WRs).Now he has to realize he has more than one option at WR.
October 31st, 2010 at 11:26 pm
Priettj studder, inhale, exhaled. We are both rooting for the same team with different opinions on how things should get done. I don’t feel Houston,and maybe I should have put it in that prepective in the first place, met his best challenges. He should have made better gains to this point, in my opinon. Maybe I think he is better than he is.
October 31st, 2010 at 11:35 pm
2romes-don’t mean to but into your conversation,but I think you are doing what many do and that is expect too much too soon from rookies.They need time to adapt to the NFL and many don’t want to give them that time.
October 31st, 2010 at 11:35 pm
priest
i dont like hujack for the reasons i stated all season just like u didnt like dmc as much before this year.dmc has improved but it doesnt explain why they kept giving his carries to fargas. i also dont understand why we havent used dmc as a wr more this year. u may like hujack but that doesnt mean we all have to. after all, didnt u have issues with gannon even tho we were winning back then?
October 31st, 2010 at 11:37 pm
Lefty, I agree. Heyward-Bey was ready to step up today without Louis Murphy. Jason Campbell is getting better each game. If he beats KC, then the Plunkett comparisons may not seem so far-fetched. Plunkett never had Elway or Manning numbers, but when the chips were down, he came out on top.

jhill we have a post presence in biedrins and lee is better in the post than u think. hell we made the playoffs with that we believe unit without a post player aside from andrins. our problem was more of rebounding and shot blocking. we also have some injuries so our full roster isnt out on display yet.
October 31st, 2010 at 11:48 pm
very happy to see dhb get off 2 day even tho i know i didnt want him. that pass he dropped down the sideline was a bad throw from jc. i think the db had kneed that ball loose when he was bringing it in. he even got an assist on that pass that was batted around to bush which was another bad throw. u have to get this guy the ball for him to develope. he can have many more games like today. was happy to see he and dmc get those long tds weve been waiting for the last 2 weeks. now i think they will start to come in bunches. u know the 1rst 1 is always the hardest.
October 31st, 2010 at 11:50 pm
AB Paine.. I have monitored your posts because you seem to have a good grasp of the team and what is real and not. I have also seen the other “know it all clowns” that shoot you down. The truth is that the reaction ism on this blog is atrocious.
What really pisses me off are these clowns that say they wont go to the game because they are “too smart” to pay for the play. I pass those that don’t have the flow, but the rest don’t realize what “support” means.
Campbell, DHB, and the rest have worth unless you listen to these cracked Raider bloggers who want it all NOW.
AB Paine, keep up the knowledgeable posts and don’t get dredged y the now bloggers…
Peace,

Armond,McFadden isn’t the same runner this year that he was in the past.During the game Lynch even mentioned how he used to be easy to tackle because of the way he ran-too straight up.He also mentioned how he now hands out punishment instead going down so easily.He said he is a much different back now than when he came into the league.
November 1st, 2010 at 12:10 am
lefty does that still justify fargas takin away his developement? yall will never get me to understand why it was okay to have him get 7 carries a game when healthy but these damn raw azz wrs got to start as much as they did. its been acknowledged that he has improved but he still shouldve played more considering we were a young team going nowhere.
November 1st, 2010 at 12:17 am
Lefty12
These guy’s just don’t wnat to accept the fact that DMC has gotten a lot better. he is a much better HB than he was when he was a rookie. I’m not saying he didn’t deserve to play a lot more but I am saying the DMC they see now AINT the DMC we were seeing 2years ago.
Armond man I’m not syaing you cannot have your likes and dislikes all I’m saying is Hujack has transformed a ragtag outfit into a possible juggernaut and I think he deserves some real kudos for doing so. The Raiders haven’t had offense like this maybe EVER. And he’s just getting started I’m just saying even though you have issues with him, there are some viable reasons why things haven’t progressed as they maybe should to date.
Still we’ve seen back t back 500 yard offensive games. It toook us damn near 6 games to total 1,100 yards offense in the last 4-5 years. It’s very difficult for me to understand a complaint about that now.
November 1st, 2010 at 12:26 am
Armond brothat I don’t think anyone is trying to get you to understand that he shouldn’t have gotten more carries. I think he should’ve gotten more carries. No arguement there but I would say his health slowed a lot of his development. THis guy is much bigger and stronger and runs with much better skills than anytime in his career. If the coaches had seen this guy there are very few RB’s that can match his talent now. he’s easily in the top 2-3 RB’s I would’ve never said that prior to game1 this year.
But yeah he should’ve played more no doubt!!
November 1st, 2010 at 12:28 am
Armond listen to his postgame interview on the wedsite he sheds some light on this subject.
November 1st, 2010 at 12:36 am
Great statement win for the Raiders.
How about Jason Campbell and Darruis Heyward-Bey? Said they were gamers the whole time, right, lol?
The D Line was playing out of their minds.
Veldheer and Gallery look like another pretty solid Raider LT-LG combo that I can think of.
And just think how good this thing can look if we get healthy for real.
As good a W as this is, however there are still concerns with penalties. Pre-snap stuff needs to get cleaned up like yesterday. Leading the league in penalties and in one game we only had 2 (so that tells you how the others went in that area).
Marcell looks like he’s becoming a true x factor. Someone thatmakes it real tough for opposing defenses to account for. But he’s gotta finish off blocks in the run game. McFadden woulda had some extra yards on top of what was already a solid day.
And of course Nnamdi.
We need him back as soon as possible. Hopefully he can get back after the bye (obviously sooner would be better).
Doesn’t get any easier after this so keep your foot on the gas pedal and get ready for an AFC West slugfest division game.
November 1st, 2010 at 12:40 am
It was pretty difficult to get him the carries everyone wishes he had due to the fact he was injured so often.Every time he got healthy enough to start getting a lot of carries he’d come down with some nagging injury.Now he is healthy and more mature-both mentally and physically-and we are seeing how good the guy really is.
November 1st, 2010 at 12:40 am
Still we’ve seen back t back 500 yard offensive games. It toook us damn near 6 games to total 1,100 yards offense in the last 4-5 years. It’s very difficult for me to understand a complaint about that now.
————————
The explosiveness in the last two weeks has been very, very impressive.
Hats off to Veldheer is is a monster out there. Darren has been running well regardless, but Veldheer is a real finisher and hard-nosed guy.
November 1st, 2010 at 12:43 am
Look, McFadden even when healthy last year, didn’t play very well. He was too upright, wasn’t using any vision, ran into his blockers all the time and tripped on his own shoelaces.
He looked like Fargas but without the punch.
Darren’s a different guy this year and he’s really playing his game right now. Great vision, making guys miss, stiff-arming, bouncing off tackles.
Running physical at 100 miles an hour.
November 1st, 2010 at 12:44 am
How bout Mike Huff at corner?
That first play looked real shaky, but I think he settled right in.
Also, Ed Hoculi (sp?) owes Stevie Brown a TD.
November 1st, 2010 at 12:46 am
I’m out, Nation.
Here’s to two straight weeks of good Raider football and hopefully a third and fourth and so on and so on.
Be good.
November 1st, 2010 at 12:50 am
LA to the Bay
Careful you’re asking for trouble on the DMC issue. I’m not sure why guy’s refuse to see that about DMC he was nowhere near the player he is now. I’m sorry to say that but it’s true. Now should he have been given more opportunities I definietly think so. But Speaking for the coaches he wasn’t the kind of back he is now. So I see bth sides.
November 1st, 2010 at 12:52 am
To me it is amazing how much better the line looks now that Veldheer has taken over the LT spot.If B.Campbell can become nearly as good at the RG spot this line could become one of the dominating lines in the league and with the young skill players developing,this offense could become one of the premier offenses in the league.
November 1st, 2010 at 12:55 am
Also I know it’s late not many here but I want to speak in behalf of Tom Cable I think he has done a very credible job. Just think what this guy was handed when he took pover for Kiffin this organization was dysfunctional and had a myriad of issues. Those issues have dissipated and now we see bright future. He deserves coach of the year if this team makes the playoffs. Because everyone said they were the worse team in the league, well not anymore. I think all the credit in the world should go to Tom Cable the underdog if there ever was one.
November 1st, 2010 at 12:58 am
Nation what happened man? I couldn’t watch the game because I was at the Niners/Broncos game in London, but would have much rather been watching the Raiders take apart the hawks.
November 1st, 2010 at 12:59 am
It is going to be interesting to see what happens to Henderson.Will he be moved to the RT spot or will he be a reserve or will he be let go?It would be nice if he could switch sides,but he is also a pretty valuable backup.
November 1st, 2010 at 1:00 am
I have always been on the Cable bandwagon, I like the dude, his guys play for him. Been saying that all along.
November 1st, 2010 at 1:02 am
Priest,I’d like to see how all the morning/afternoon Cable haters would respond to that take which,btw,I agree with 110%-but I’ve always been a Cable guy.
November 1st, 2010 at 1:03 am
Lefty12
That’s what I was trying to say to my boy Armond this may well be then best offense in the league when Hujack gets doen with it. And you are so right about the OLine they were great today for the 4th week in a row. Veldheer is looking like a steal. Satele has stabilized and L Walker is not just some fat guy we plugged in. You put BC in the mix and man look the hell out. This is just getting started I can’t wait until BC is ready to go. I think we’re going to see some amazing things in the near future.
Veldheer is playing better than some high priced rookies like A Davis accross the bay. And Campbell could be better than Iupati when it’s al said and done.
November 1st, 2010 at 1:06 am
Hobs,you missed a good one.Total domination.Actually,the score could have been worse than last week but we missed on a few red zone chances.DHB went off,McFadden and Bush had over a 100 each,JC threw for over 300.The Def. totally shut them down.* sacks I believe and Lynch had under 10 ids rushing.
November 1st, 2010 at 1:06 am
Game in London was good, I was with a bunch of donk fans and shoot, their faces were so long it made me feel sorry for them. Crowd was overwhelmingly for the Niners. These Brits really love our game and the NFL would be nuts not to have at least two games out there.
It’s nuts because you see all NFL team jeresies there, I was in my Raider garb and quite a few else I may add. Orton had a monster hit on him, dude was writhing in pain and we had such great seats in the end zone, fun night. Jerry Rice was signing autographs before the game.
November 1st, 2010 at 1:07 am
Left Cable is pretty high on Mario it’s just that he couldn’t wait on him any longer and Veldheer is a player. Mario will start somewhere IMO he is just too talented, all of a sudden this OLine is getting very deep.
November 1st, 2010 at 1:07 am
8 sacks
November 1st, 2010 at 1:08 am
Thanks Lefty, I am starting to think they should leave Campbell in there, after grads gets healthy just for continutity, any thoughts?
November 1st, 2010 at 1:09 am
8 sacks? Lord!!!
November 1st, 2010 at 1:11 am
83,900 last nights game, Wembley stadium. I would love to have that stadium in Oak.
November 1st, 2010 at 1:13 am
It was a thorough beating in every sense of the word. If we had clicked offensively early it would’ve been easily 45-50 to zip. It was that bad, our defense was suffocating and brutal. The SeaChickens were plucked, cooked and served…………period
November 1st, 2010 at 1:14 am
You have to give Veldheer credit.We know the team is high on Henderson but JV just took the job from him.I just wonder if they’ll try to make him a RT and if he’ll be able to make that move.The best part is we haven’t had to listen to all the complaints about how we are ignoring the Oline.
November 1st, 2010 at 1:17 am
Priest, jus cause your old as hell doesnt mean you know everything about the raiders. I can compare the last 7 years, to this years, because we have played emotionless, pathetic football for those yrs.
and i have never spoken to Al davis, but I guarrante i know more about how the organization is run, b/c I happen to be related to the best/most consistent player on this team. So if i hear from him about how things are inside the locker room, its trumps whatever ideas or notions you have about Al Davis.
and dont call me son
November 1st, 2010 at 1:19 am
And to all those who are always on here saying we should move this guy here and that guy there(Olinemen),just relax and let the coaches do their jobs.It looks like they actually know what they are doing,contrary to popular belief.
November 1st, 2010 at 1:21 am
So how is his ankle?
November 1st, 2010 at 1:22 am
Campbell is still struggling to get the ball ut on time, He needs to get comfortable and see things quicker. The thing is he fits this offense so well but he doesn’t play with the kind of confidence you’d like to see. However we need to get some kind of continuity on offense but he just seems to not have it all together yet. I still think Grads has more of a grasp of this team and plays mpore aggresively. He just needs to stay healthy and productive.
Who ever they choose needs to stay there for the rest of this season. There is just tooo much change at that position
November 1st, 2010 at 1:26 am
adam shefter reporting according to source, nnamdi doesn’t believe it’s serious. potential good news.
November 1st, 2010 at 1:26 am
Look DaTruth a present player doesn’t know squat about the history of this organization all he knows is what he sees now SON. I’ve had relatives play for this organization in the past and have been very close to this organization for many years myself. So I do know quite a bit about what they have done SON
November 1st, 2010 at 1:27 am
like i said i didn’t see the game and i don’t know other than stats how he played but i would hate to change things right now.
November 1st, 2010 at 1:28 am
I’ll be honest,I’m not sure what we should do at QB.On one hand,Grads seems to run this offense better than JC.On the other,it is pretty difficult to make a change when we are moving the ball the way we are.If we could see more of the throws JC made to Reese it would be easy,but those don’t happen nearly often enough.
November 1st, 2010 at 1:30 am
That’s great news………..man I was worried. WE can play without him for a few weeks but not the rest of the season. thanks Hobs!!
November 1st, 2010 at 1:31 am
DaTruth-I assume you were talking about Nnamdi since he is the best/most consistent player,so how is his ankle?
November 1st, 2010 at 1:32 am
and i am a grads guys! i just don’t want to see them hurt their momentum. oh yeah, i seen two jamarcus russell jersies last night, i wanted to rip them off and burn them.
November 1st, 2010 at 1:32 am
Our QB situation could be better if JC and Bruce were one being… so I think we should play the hot hand. Right now it’s JC, so keep playing him till he starts sucking then put in Bruce to try and change the momentum around.
November 1st, 2010 at 1:33 am
Hobs,you should have told them to remove his name and put their own on those jerseys.lol
November 1st, 2010 at 1:34 am
tj, we can have our differences and our heated debate which is fine, but at the end of the day we are both raider fans period dot.
November 1st, 2010 at 1:34 am
Whatever they do they need that guy to stay there for the rest of the season. JC just needs to cntinue to improve if he does GREAT!! I just don’t want the constant change.
November 1st, 2010 at 1:39 am
Change is good, like a change of pace back. The demeanor on both the QB’s are different. We got Sparky and Mr. Zen. We have a guy who can say get your act together and another who will say calm down we can do this. Bruce is a emotional leader. JC’s demeanor is more of in the mold of Eli.
November 1st, 2010 at 1:40 am
I agree Hobs! thanks for the kind words.
Well I’m out guy’s Adios!!
November 1st, 2010 at 1:41 am
If we can put both those qualities into one guy it’d be awesome. Someone who can read the language of the team and dictate the type of emotion to display. Whether it’s showing some emotion or being calm, cool, collected.
November 1st, 2010 at 1:43 am
As long as we keep winning and competing it doesn’t make any difference who the QB is.It is a shame though that Grads was such a key player in helping turn this thing around and now he might be the odd man out due to an injury.
November 1st, 2010 at 1:45 am
Goodnight Priest.

Peter King giving the Raiders a lot of love:
Raiders on a roll.
Can’t you just imagine Al Davis this morning? Told you I was right to trade the one for Richard Seymour. Told you Darren McFadden was a franchise back. Told you this pass-rush would work. Told you Darrius Heyward-Bey had some Cliff Branch in him.
The 4-4 Raiders are alive, .500 or better in November for the first time since 2002, when they made their last Super Bowl appearance. (Their last relevant football game, really.) They’ve been so dominant the last two weeks, beating Denver and Seattle by a combined 92-17, that they’ve got to be taken very seriously as contenders in the AFC West. This week the Chiefs come to town, and a Raiders win would pull them within a half-game of first place Kansas City after nine weeks.
Last week against Denver, the front seven, led by Seymour, Tommy Kelly and Kamerion Wimbley, was voracious in a four-sack beatdown of the Broncos. They turned it up higher Sunday in the 33-3 rout of Seattle. They sacked Matt Hasselbeck eight times, and when they weren’t sacking him, they were pressuring him into quick throws. That helped them turn it back over to their offense, which, for the first time in the half-century history of the franchise, has had back-to-back 500-yard games. The running game looks unstoppable. The 328 yards against flawed and struggling Denver was one thing. But Seattle came into the Coliseum holding teams to 3.3 yards per rush, second in the league … and Oakland riddled the Seahawks for 239 yards on 39 carries.
Watching chunks of Sunday’s game, I found one thing evident: The Raiders are playing harder than they have been, flying to the ball like the Steelers and Ravens do on defense especially. Quarterback Jason Campbell points to a speech coach Tom Cable gave the team the night before the Denver game, when he implored them to stop worrying about making mistakes and to just play with abandon. And after Sunday’s game, Cable said: “Good teams get breaks. They make their breaks because of how hard they’re playing.” That’s exactly what it looks like the Raiders are doing.
Suddenly, it looks like if the Chargers are going to mount another charge to win the division, but they’ll have to leapfrog two teams, not just Kansas City. And that first-round pick the Patriots got for Seymour? Now it looks like it might be in the teens or lower, not in the top five.
It’s only two games, and they weren’t against the cream of the league, but the Raiders haven’t looked this good since their Super Bowl season.

Darren McFadden & Michael Bush

I’m still not sold on KC…I don’t know, but we haven’t beaten them at home in like forever…That is another monkey to get off of our backs…the weight is getting lighter, but we need this win!
~~~ ~~~
Ona side note…got a message from one of my good friends in Hawaii the other day…he told me that he didn’t know that I was a Raider fan and that he is apologizing early for the beatdown that his Miami Dolphins are going to give us. He then said that he and his fiance’ are trying to win tickets to that game here in Oakland on the 28th of November because he really wants to be here when it happens.
It could be true, because we all know that these last 2 wins, although great, hasn’t been against really formidable opponents. We have yet to beat really good teams…but as a friend, should I warn him about Oakland (The City)?
November 1st, 2010 at 6:40 am

Hwnrdr, they are the real deal
best running team in the NFL right now and a tough defense.

November 1st, 2010 at 6:50 am
I’m not really sold on them, but respect them to know that if we don’t stop the run, and make Cassell beat us (although, worried about not having Nnamdi in there), we will lose…but, hoping that the Raiders are staring to come around that mountain!
November 1st, 2010 at 6:50 am
so the Raiders beat the NFC West leading Seahacks by 30 yesterday and the Chiefs almost needed double overtime to beat the winless Bills…
who has more confidence and momentum rolling into next week’s matchup in Oakland?
November 1st, 2010 at 6:51 am
As much as I love these last two wins this team has HUGE tests coming up the next 4 games.
-KC
-Miami (Good team. Can beat anybody)
-At Pittsburgh (Best team in AFC according to many)
-At San Diego (Just in time for Vincent Jacksons return with revenge on their mind at home).
We have to be honest and say we could conceivably and not surprisingly lose all 4 of these games and be sitting at 4-8.
I know we CAN win these games, but this is gonna be a big time test.
November 1st, 2010 at 6:52 am
DMac has come into his own this year…had he not pull his hammy against Houston…(that 23 yard run probably would have been a TD)…he will probably have or very close to 1000 yards already…he’s close to 700, isn’t he?
November 1st, 2010 at 6:54 am
You know, that is what worries me…that shank in AZ, and that wtf? in SF…we would be 6-2! The last half is going to be WAY tougher!!!
November 1st, 2010 at 6:56 am
DJG,
we can win all 4 of those games. Just depends on which Oakland team shows up. You’ve got the Titans & 49ers games to look at compared to the Dungver & Seattle games. WAY different team man. If Oakland shows up inspired, hungry and passionate to play some smashmouth football we can beat any team in the team. we’re that talented
I just hope our guys don’t get too overconfident and it shows up on Sunday as a lack of effort or preparation. I’m not worried about our opponents. the Raiders control their own destiny
November 1st, 2010 at 6:56 am
Wow…we are second in the league for points scored…only Tennessee is higher with 224 (to our 212)…
November 1st, 2010 at 7:00 am
hwnrdr: in KC Cassel has McCluster, Bowe, Chambers and a very good rookie TE
even if we shut down the run, their passing game is not to be overlooked.
However, I feel that CJ37 & Routt can handle their starting wides if Nnamdi can’t go and we have constant pressure on the QB.
8 sacks yesterday? WOW!

November 1st, 2010 at 7:10 am
KC is a good team. They might not be a top 5…but they could very well be a top 10 just by rush offense and good defense and those are probably the two most important strengths of a good football team. They are going to compete for the afc west title and we need to win next week by stopping the run and forcing cassell to pass. Flowers is a great CB so we’re going to need our receivers to step it up again on Sunday. Great win yesterday. Defense played great in all aspects. I think Nmandi is going to be out for at least 3-4 weeks, maybe longer…that did not look good. I’m worried about our CBs now and our depth…scary to think that we need to rely on Routt even more. Is Walt Mcfadden available yet?

2-0 in the division thus far. make it 3-0!

Although you may be right that there was no noticeable difference when nmandi left, I think we also have to realize that Seattle’s WRs are very avg and also our defensive line was putting the pressure all day long. When we play teams w/ good receivers, that’s where Nmandi is invaluable. Anybody that thinks our defense is the same with or without Nmandi will see the difference against Pittsburgh and maybe even against KC (they don’t have good receivers really but Bowe has flashes every now and then). Might get dizzy with defensive PIs against Routt and CJ the next two games or until Nmandi comes back. Nmandi had a great game yesterday.

That’s good news about Walt Mcfadden…I don’t know how Walt Mcfadden is going to be relative to CJ and Routt but I think just having depth is important for us, especially given our man defensive. I’m guessing CJ will be back this week too…if not, our secondary is going to give us some trouble.

Hard to say he got burned. He blanketed the receiver who went up and just made and outstanding play on a perfectly placed ball. I would say the only knock on huff on that play was that he didnt get his head around to try and make a play, but it was the only completion against him. I would bet Huff plays CB full time next week if Area21 takes the day off.

Don’t be fooled into thinking we will roll over the Chiefs. They are a young(like us) well conditioned

Ford is getting valuable playing time.
The D line is getting great push (rush, blitz).
D backs are getting some breaks here and there.
Chaz is not even back and our passing game is producing.
You have to give Cable and Hue Jackson there credit. Hue is actually using his O-Weapons like we have talked about for the last two years. Did you see that pitch to DMAC outside. DHB on the reverse.

Chiefs havent beaten a team with a winning record, and were a well placed timeout away from losing to lowely bills. This game will be huge for us though, If we can contain their running game we WILL beat them. They can not win from behind (Colts defense sucks… 9 points) and their passing game is only effective when the running game is playing well. Stop the run. Win the game.

You’re probably right…but if we do hold them under 100 (not impossible but i see your pt) or at least stuff them enough to force more passing plays, we win this game. Hopefully d-line and linebacker confidence is high after stuffing Seattle big time yesterday.

I think you have to stay with the hot hand. If JC beats KC he will be the starter going forward, unless he lays a stinker at which point Bruce can come in in relief. The biggest plus to Bruce has always been the way he “ignited” the team, but they are playing great for JC, why pull him.
November 1st, 2010 at 8:11 am
Just watching the stats:
- SD is the #1 Total Defense (#1 Pass Defense) and #1 Total Offense (#1 Pass Offense), still 3-4 record.
- KC is #1 rushing offense.
- OAKLAND, we are 8th in Total Offense (2nd rushing offense) and 9th in Total Defense (4th passing defense). We are 2nd in the league in points scored (SD is first)
- DEN sucks in almost every category except passing offense (4th)
AFC West not sucking anymore.
November 1st, 2010 at 8:12 am
REASONS WE WILL BEAT KC…
1. Has one of you previously mentioned, they have not yet beat a team with a winning record..
2. I dont know if you guys have watched any KC ganmes this year but they win ugly..(run..run..run..trickery, occasional play action that works)they are not a high powered team, they are suspect.
3. If we stop there run then we win, cassel cant be a pass only guy against US..nobody in the league can, we have a fast seocndary that specializes in bump and run, and a D-line that is thriving in every situation right now
4. Prediction: Raiders 27 Chiefs 10, we stop their run, go up 17, they cant throw it, we cause turnovers and win it…PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ

Jhill violently defended Tommy Kelly & Stan Routt this offseason, while I claimed that both players were trash and should be replaced ASAP

Gholston makes the most sense if we don’t go offense with McFadden. All the talk about Ryan Clady makes no sense; I just don’t see Al Davis giving the kind of money he did to Kwame Harris for him to play right tackle…
Gholston is a beast. He was (with apologies to Glenn Dorsey) clearly the best player on the field in the National Championship game; his initial burst is incredible. We will need to replace Burgess; this is probably his last year in Oakland, and Gholston is a viable pass rusher that we will definitely need when DBurg is gone.

Glad we went with McFadden!

how did you do in FF this week?
I haven’t checked …
November 1st, 2010 at 8:32 am
I’ll tell you what, when this defense is unleashed it’s fun as hell to watch.
And that’s what has been missing over the last several years. EVERY defense in the league has weaknesses. No defense can win every 1-on-1 matchup every single down.
Kelly, Routt, Huff, Groves, Johnson, Scott, etc… These guys might not be HOFers, or even Pro Bowlers. But when the defense is allowed to play aggressively, to blitz, to exploit matchups, and when everyone maintains their gap discipline, the whole defensive unit looks good. They’re playing like a team right now, not like every player is on an island to himself. That is the difference.
November 1st, 2010 at 8:33 am

So, for me at least and as of now, I´d pass on him, I don´t wanna tie up 20 million on a RB with skinny legs and a WR body who while a home run threat, hasn´t shown the power to consistently run between the tackles and keep the chains moving.

morning nation,
marcel reese has stepped up his game, as have all the rest of our team. so many stars yesterday, mcfadden, dhb, wimbley, seymour, huff, nambdi and mm34 all made great plays. tommy kelly started it off, and jason campbell finished it.. can you imagine?? these guys have all been big time “cut list” candidates on here recently.
anyone notice how the crowd responded when nambdi went down? it gave me shivers..

WARNING THIS MAY BE TO “X” RATED FOR SOME OF YOU.
I’m still wondering who touched Stevie Brown on that ill advised squib kick. Stevie Brown what an athlete, his verticle was tremendous and spun down to the near ground and stayed balance and just scored.
My gawd, what a play.
So is the AIR part of a touch, I seem to think it will be in future games when the refs don’t see that pure athletic talent some players have.

I’ll let you and Dakota argue who is a bust,or lack there off, but for this comment your on record for your extraordinary high worth praise of Jacoby Ford.
I saw yesterday a young man who can run routes, block hard and play hard, all in a 5′9″ body. I think Jacoby Ford thinks he is 6′2′ and has no fear. The Raider organizartion has a player there, keep your eyes on him, he will get better.

I called it last week RR! : )
I said this would be a break out game for DHB with Murphy down, Ford still green and Zach Miller the real go to WR on this team being double teamed all day.
I am happy for DHB even though he still has room to improve, good game. And we ain’t even got Chaz back.

some of these cats in this blog are absolute jokes. So many people cant stand our four man pressure scheme, well it worked to perfection. mixed with the well timed blitz, it baffled the opponenets fro the second straight week.
Dont look now but we have an unquestioned leader on offense, his name JASON CAMPBELL. This qb is now at the helm at one of the elite offenses in the league. Stop with the hu jack doesnt trust campbell garbage. You dont throw a slant on fourth and one with the game in the balance unless you trust your qb. Stall out the crap about campbell lacking confidence, you dont become a 5 year nfl starter unless you believe in yourself. You want toughness and grit, campbell was under heavy rush stood in the pocket and destroyed the gulls.
He is by far the best qb we have had since gannon.
You ready for this. Jason campbell is far more talented the gannon ever was. read carefully, i said he is more talented than gannon, he has not accomplished more than gannon in silver and black. We will take a look in four or five years.
We are now entering a window of opportunity. next year and for the next 3-4 years we will be in position to go all the way. Our triplets are emerging, into a potent force that is putting the nfl on notice. Good thing davis doesnt listen to these fools that said we should trade/ cut campbell, DHB, and D-mac.

My fellow Raider Nation brothers,
I will never forgive some of you for continually naming DMAC as a bust(right BSJ and many others) and will never forgive you thinking, he could be a slot(so funny) receiver. I will remember when, he scores a TD or has a great game how so many of you in here, just made a teenie, tiny, mistake, of great porportations.
So hold your head up high and believe, the great Dakota, when he said for over 5 months before the draft
“I LOVE MCFADDEN”

November 1st, 2010 at 9:09 am
I agree Jacoby Ford looked raw but he was a good football player back in college. It was just that CJ Spiller was getting all the hype. Jacoby and CJ both were big play threats on the field. When they were both out there they were hard to defend aginst. He was not just a track guy he runs pretty hard with the ball. He was the right draft pick!

We gotta big task in shutting down the Chefs running game next week. They are a run first, pass when you hafta type of team. It sucks that Nams got hurt because I would love to have had him locked up on Bowe, it would force them to become even more one dimensional than they already are.
Jamaal Charles is a slippery little freak and Thomas Jones is nobodies punk either. If we can manage to at least curb their run game a bit, have our defense stay disciplined and mind their own assignments, we could force them to pass the ball which is really what we want, because big Sey and the boys could then put Cassell on a stretcher and have him carted off the field. Hell, these guys almost lost to the Bills AT HOME yesterday. These guys are absolutely beatable, we just gotta take the fight to them. Punch em in the mouth a few times, and just like a wannabe tough guy, they will quit.
Lets Pack the House Fellas let the Chefs know the 12 man is alive and well.

Jacoby Ford was open yesterday, if Cable is asked at the presser, he will be truthful and say he was.
Ford is running better routes and has incredible speed.
On the pass play in the first quarter to DHB, Ford on the other side had his man beat, this is why sometimes, I see with my own eyes Campbell needs to read his progressions faster and scan the field quicker, he is missing some open receivers.

November 1st, 2010 at 9:19 am
I thought we gave up on Campbell to quick but maybe him having a seat and watching the game actually did help. I thought he was just trying to find his way in a new offense.
I like Grads but I just think w/ Grads what you see is what you get. Campbell still has some upside and he throws a nice tight spiral to space. He also protectign the ball, taking smart chances, and yes checking down like a pro QB is supose to do!!! Grad rushes it some time, Campbell seems to be in rythm now.

Nnamdi- huge reach
Sebass- most points ever scored by a Raider
Lechler- best punter ever
Huff- is there a better cover safety?
Gallery- would you pick Hutchinson in first?
DMAC- skinny legs can’t break a tackle right?
Mike Mitchell- experts had him undrafted
DHB- learning how to catch and with that size/speed…
Shaughnessey- they said he plays too upright
Murphy- 4th round pick
M Bush- 4th round pick
Houston- I hear this rooks been invisible
Routt- size speed but no football skills right?
Veldheer- we should have drafted OL in 1st round right?
T Kelly- Undrafted FA

Dell, thanks for the info…Is the injury to JFORD serious, is it slowing him down…When I heard he went down I was like %$#$%#…We are Thin at WR… I think he and NMILLER add some good depth, however, I did think that this youngster was special and needs to be on the field…. That 64 yarder he caught against seattle in the preseason should have been a eye opener for someone NATION members on the fence about his skillz….

Ford is going to have the same problem as JLH. When they both get open, but are the second or third receiver in the pattern, regarding who the QB targets first, they are looked at to late, the speed these guys have is very impressive.
The Raiders on more than 5 plays had Ford, JLH and DHB, on the field, with JLH in the slot, Seattle had no answer. The QB needs just a half sec longer and this offens will really light up defenses.

The only thing that concerned me was that we were only up 13-0 coming into the 4th qtr. Based on how awesome the D was playing, we need to shut down the other team at least by the 3nd of third qtr. Even Jason admitted in the post game presser, they needed to score more early on. I hope they improve on this issue on the O.

Aig
Our red zone scoring has issues with personnel.
The lack of TD’S is not the QB, but the calls and blocking.
When was the last time a Raider QB threw a fade or bunch the WR’S for better pick opportunities on the defenders, or pushing Zach Miller out in the slot.
I have ideas, but the biggest issue I have is they don’t spread out the other teams defense and use their Raider speed for the edges or match ups we have, as the players play bigger, when they are open, in terms of field play.
November 1st, 2010 at 9:28 am
Jhill…..yeah Hendu is in and out of boot….need him for stretch run but defense is improving and its due to Kelly and Seymour
November 1st, 2010 at 9:29 am
I hear you Tech but lets be honest even the best QBs miss a open WR here or there. Are you saying Grads would have A) saw all of these open WRs and B) Had a strong enough arm to make the throw from the pocket?

remember in preseason Hu jack called the same slant play on fourth and 1, it failed and he was ripped a new one. This week it works and he is a genius. These calls are attitude calls. They tell your team no matter what we should be able to make this kind of play. Those calls give your team a confidence and a bully mentality. Those plays say im going to kick your a$$ and you cant stop me.
Hu jack was conservative in the first half, to a degree. But in a slug fest defensive battle that is the way you play it. Conservatism trying to establish your game plan peppered with the occasional risk reward call. very similar to the niner game plan, the difference is the players executed on offense, and the defense avoided the brain cramps.
Hu jack is the truth end of story. The best play caller we have had since callahan, except the players actually like him.
You dont like Hu jack, get your head checked.

November 1st, 2010 at 9:36 am
I am not saying JC is the truth man but d@mn!!!! You guys can be so critical when it comes to his game. But everytime you talk about Grads it is like the guys $#!t never stinks. He misses WRs as well. He is quick to run out of the pocket usually towards the sideline throwing off his back foot making plays on the run.
Grads will even throw into double coverage at times and get picked, he loves to gamble almost to much.
But every game he played in the line was blamed. Now that JCamp is playing decent protecting the ball making good reads, nice fake handoffs. Playing a decent game you guys are all extra critical.
You have not seen play like this from a QB or a Raiders team since Gannon. I have been watching so don’t give me this JC haters club BS!!!
November 1st, 2010 at 9:36 am
We can’t go into the 4th qtr only up 13 points against a good team.
——————————————————-
AIG,
I have to say that I wasn’t as worried yesterday as I was the SF game. Our defense was playing so well, and it seems like we got that weakness of biting for the PA pass outta our system.
I agree with you and Dell that there were more points to be had, but how about that defense mayne!

Hey fellas. Wow! Awesome game by the D line! Solid vs the Run, creating havoc vs the pass. it helped the LBs and the DBs tons… Red zone woes did not cost us this time, though a better team wwould have come back on us during the 3rd quarter. Props to DHB for getting the 1st long one out of the way, lets hope the kid can do it more regularly.
Three weeks ago we had Loper’s Holly Roller. This week Bush gets the Imaculate Reception v.2010. What are the football gods trying to tell us?

I need some clarification:
Brett Favre played with 2 fractured ankles yesterday, but he may not start next week because of a cut on his chin that required a few stitches?
what am I missing?
is this the Vikings way of benching him becuase he sucks this year, or is it really a health related issue?

November 1st, 2010 at 9:46 am
Aig
You bring up a good point regarding the call list with JC.
My personal opinion is this, (let me say I know you like Grads as the QB, and you have defended him so in this blog). I believe, JC has to have rhythm to start out, to focus his play to creat, a more upbeat tempo for JC.
The first 6 plays to start the game were short passes, to develop that focus of rhythm.
I actually believe, my opinion, by running the ball, which he hands off, really sets him back from the quickness, he needs to see him play better and quicker.
JC, plays better, when he is more involved with the pass and most plays he excels at, our the short variety and when he does get comfortable he seems to become focused and plays better.
Final comment, I forget what Quarter, either first or secon, Cable called time out. The play was called in to JC, but the players were slow to get back in the huddle and the play clock was about to run out, JC should be aware of this and either moved to quicken the pace in the huddle or told the players to get moving or called the time out himself, that’s were I have issues with him, his game management.
November 1st, 2010 at 9:47 am
Satele is doing a great job this year and Veldheer looks like a beast at LT ever since they left him there and quit giving him so many reps at Center.
Why would you take a LT from Hillsdale that didn’t allow 1 sack as a 4 year starter and make him play C anyways?
#1 it’s takes time to adjust to the NFL, especially coming from a smaller school that faced lesser competition
#2 Mario Henderson sucks!

November 1st, 2010 at 9:50 am
What a great game yesterday. Being a fan is all about having big games to look forward to — and Sunday’s match-up with K.C. is the real deal.
Finally, a big game in November.
My big concern: If K.C. stacks up the run on first down and we get a lot of 2nd-and-9s and 3rd-and-6s, can Jason Campbell get the job done? I don’t think he can.
The defense will need to get 2 significant turnovers to set up scores.
But I can’t wait to see what happens.

Hue Jackson is making the right calls for the players abilities. I like it man, I really like it. Our line is blocking and JC is putting the ball where it needs to be for the skilled 4.3-4.4 play makers that we collect year after year to make plays.
We did not have Murphy or Chaz our two best WRs.

Hey, where is THE RUE THE DAY THEY HATED ON OR WERE WISHY-WASHY ON TOM CABLE LIST?
November 1st, 2010 at 9:58 am
Dell,
I’m a Grad fan but I will root for whoever is back there. I thought Hue was way too conservative with JC much like he was with JC against the Niners. I thought JC had his best game yesterday as a Raider. Can we nit pick him? Yes but that’s silly. That’s like people were nit picking Grad when he was performing out there and they did it when he won as well. I have never said JC had a bad game when we won.
If Hue is going to be conservative, then he needs to call for more screen passes. Oh man, we’ve come a long way from the days of Jawalrus trying screen passes to now.
November 1st, 2010 at 9:58 am
Again, I don’t know why I’m on that list. I was the one who said that if McFadden could stay healthy enough to see 20+ carries a game, he would be elite. I compared him to AP in that he might get hit for a loss occasionally, but if you keep pounding the rock with him eventually he’ll break a big one. I also wanted to see the coaching staff get him more involved with the passing game. All of those things happened, and now McFadden is having a tremendous season.
November 1st, 2010 at 9:59 am
I will be sold on JC if he has solid play against a tough KC and Pitt defense. Seattle pass defense sucked and JC didn’t have to do a whole lot in the Denver win thanks to Super McFadden. I still prefer Grads for now but I do think JC stepped up yesterday with some key throws.
Anybody think DHB should get credit for that long pass/punt to Bush? Maybe they should keep track of assists in the NFL. I thought that was going to be a pick for sure. Thank you for saving that one Michael Bush.
November 1st, 2010 at 9:59 am

Hill,
You are right I never felt threatened with the Hawks. However, I was so worried about a fluke play that would bring the game within 6 points. If we play good teams like Pitt, they will make us pay for keeping the game close.
November 1st, 2010 at 10:00 am
I also preferred Grads to Campbell, but, we’ve won the last big with JC. Why mess with success? I’d rather have Grads come off the bench if JC can’t get it going vs KC.
November 1st, 2010 at 10:00 am
Speaking Of MR and all of his many names on this blog.

Here is who REALLY needs to be called out imo …
the guys that compared Jason Campbell to JaMarcus Russell!
November 1st, 2010 at 10:01 am
here is the thing guys. The centers and guards are double teaming either, t kelly or seymour on almost every snap, this has singled up our edge guys, and is creating huge holes for our backers to fill. This is the key to our natural pressure, and really gives our blitz package a boost. it is also taking the run game apart. kelly and seymour, are penetrating but maintaining their gap control as well, unlike fat slobs like warren and sapp. 8 sacks, and less than 70 yds rushing. This is also protecting our suspect saftey play on the back end.

We are starting to see what they visioned up to this point and great leaders get you to buy into a vision. So hats off to Al for now. He pumps ups his players and compares his players to other Raider greats of the past. He makes them believe they are that great and play up to the greatness.

Oh yeah, hey Rock, you ready to show Romac a little love yet? He isnt Ray Lewis, but he isnt Kirk Morrison either. If we hold KC to under a buck in rushing you HAVE to give him props.

Liked how the Raiders didn’t let up
……….
It’s called running up the score. Not letting up is when you’re scoring enough points to make sure the opposition can’t come back. Throwing a play action bomb up 45-14 in the 3rd quarter is running up the score. It’s “let’s score a hundred points to make our fans forget that we can’t beat any decent teams”.

Certainly can’t hurt to have BIG John up in there in a rotation with Seymour and TK. Just adds to the flexibility of our Dline. Can slide Seymour or TK to DE from time to time and make us even more stout.
The thing is, once our offense “really” finds it’s grove, teams won’t be able to run the ball since they’ll be down 2 scores.

November 1st, 2010 at 10:20 am
Did anyone notice that our run game didnt break through until Red Bryant got hurt? I was listening to sirius NFL radio all week and that is the guy everyone was saying is the key to their run defense. I am glad to see we stuck with it and didnt abandon the run when it wasnt working too well in the first 1.5 quarters or so, maybe even they whole first half?
I think in the past we would give lip service to being committed to the run but abandoned it too easily when it didnt work to start the game. I think that’s a credit to Hue Jackson. I am soo happy to see some real success. It has been such a long time coming, but here are my thoughts on the upcoming TEST against 1st place KC.
DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THIS TEAM! Part of the reason for the past 2 weeks success is because we have shut down the run and have been able to pin our ears back and rush the passer. Realistically, these were 2 average or below average (in Denver’s case) rushing teams, relatively speaking.
This next test against KC is the ultimate test for our run defense. We have not blown out a team that can rush. IF we can slow down KC’s run, which averages 196 YPG, which is off the charts, then we have arrived. That is why I am still concerned. Rush defense is our achilles heel, so I need to see us shut down a premium rushing team. IF we do, I will completely believe in this team.
Seattle was a nice team, but not a truely dominant one in any phase besides special teams, coming into yesterday.
I would LOVE to beat the Chefs!!!
Its going to take another great performance by the front 4 and RoMac to be successful. I hope this is a lockdown week in practice. Details, detaild, details and dont take anything for granted. Jamaal Chuck and Tom Jones are no joke. They scare me a little. Plus the fact that KC has been winning close games almost every time.
I was so pissed they iced the Buffalo kicker yesterday and it worked to perfection, exactly like Jano in denver 3 season ago. Anyways, just had to get all this off my chest. I have thousands of other thoughts, but this is good for now.

*******We have all dogged Al to some degree now it is time to give the man some respect*************
Lets be honest none of us saw the last two games coming and you ahve to give it up to Al for keeping Cable bringing in Hue and pulling off the trade for Campbell and Seymour last year and this years draft picks and trades made early in the season have been a solid A. We are starting to see what they visioned up to this point and great leaders get you to buy into a vision. So hats off to Al for now. He pumps ups his players and compares his players to other Raider greats of the past. He makes them believe they are that great and play up to the greatness.
They have a tackle from Hillsdale and a Safety from OU starting as rookies! That is unheard of fellas.
Come on lets give it up man!
==========================================================
Straight up bra! Al knows what he is doing. it doesnt always work, and when it fails it flames in spectacular fashion, like an exploding zepplin.
But when it works, we dont just win we dominate.
i never want read any importers comparing us the lions, or the browns or any other loser franchise again.

2romes-don’t mean to but into your conversation,but I think you are doing what many do and that is expect too much too soon from rookies.They need time to adapt to the NFL and many don’t want to give them that time.
——————————————————-
I think you got it pretty much wrong. I never stated Houston was’nt playing well for a rookie.And No, I don’t expect to much to soon from rookies and I don’t think many of the Raider fans feel that way. Coaches should expect good, consistent play out of there rookies that they start. Many teams stay competitive each year by expecting their rookies to play at a high level. I see nothing wrong with that.
Also, as I mentioned yesterday I expected better play from Houston and guess what, he played better. I expected better play from the wide receivers guess what, they played better.
Not expecting a rookie to perform at a good level is an insult to him and the Team.That’s my take on it.
November 1st, 2010 at 10:25 am

Best thing that has happened to our secondary is the improved play of our front 7.
Pass rush and run defense by them has freed them up to do what they do best.
I agree with Mista, that I don’t think we will miss Nnamdi against KC. Cassell is nothing to worry about. We need to stop Jones and Charles, and we’ll be 5-4 going into the bye.

First quarter our o-line from the center across the right side is on roller skates. cant wait until next year when b campbell is ready and we draft more guys.
DHb has a huge first quarter with the reverse, and big time catch off the slant. yes big time he caught the ball while absorbing a shot, he is becoming our best guy.
If chaz the glass ever makes it back, he will have a tough time getting on the field, unless you give him murphs time. Ford and DHb must play they are truly game changers.

Stats dont tell the whole story in this case. Do you watch the jags play? i do , I am a gerrard fan( by the way some folks here said he was garbage, you got spanked yesterday). But kikr is up to his old tricks, tacking 5-6 sometimes 10 yds down the field. he is way out of position on most plays, he shoots the wrong gaps, and looks the same as he did here. Romac is forcing the whole running over o -linemmen, and making stops in the gap and in the back field. No comparison, romac is a huge upgrade.

DHb with a sensational rout, turn and catch with the hands, and tap dance on the sideline! They said he couldnt do that.
Throw in the towel, DHb haters are getting pummeled.

It’s amazing how much better coaches can look when players actually perform on the field.
Can’t say much about the coaching staff win the team has won 3 outta 4.
Props to Cable and company!

historically (last 8 years anyway) the Raiders have had a rough time with the Chiefs at home…
ROG, do you think this will impact the # of people who come out to the game with 1st place in the AFC West on the line ???
November 1st, 2010 at 11:12 am

RRS I DO think it does. These guys want to win and love a full house for a big division game
November 1st, 2010 at 11:15 am
Second quarter campbell owns the gulls, and proves he mastering this offense.
he drops deep ( yes a 7 step) looks down field nothing there, checks down to dmac who makes a very nice catch and run. you dont like the check down but it was not only the right play it was a good play.
3rd and nine seattle brings in extra dbs, campbell recognizes the defens and audibles to a run bush punishes the gulls with a 9 yd run.
Then campbell makes a throw worthy of legend, hitting reece on 4-1 slant. A laser shot 9 they said he had no zip) through a window you could barley fit a loaf of bread through.
Incredible. Campbell haters…tap out now.
November 1st, 2010 at 11:15 am

Only one thing counts in this life: Get them to sign on the line which is dotted.
GO RAIDERS!
November 1st, 2010 at 11:21 am
as a fan at the game, how tough would it be to see Grads trot out as the starting QB and have a turnover or 3 & out on his first drive?
When would the Jason Campbell chants start ???
November 1st, 2010 at 11:21 am
Anyways……Bauce took day off……gonna enjoy……..see ya……JUST WIN……….BAUCE!
November 1st, 2010 at 11:22 am

Of course you’re me, A.B. Because there could only be one person who’s critical of Al Davis on a blog. One person on the face of the earth. MaddenRaider. Everyone else in the world loves Al Davis. Duh.
November 1st, 2010 at 11:27 am
Great, The Real MaddenRaider is on… signing off…

CBS sportsline power rankings have the Raiders at #15
The Raiders are rising through the ranks as the offense Al Davis is drawing up in the Necronomicon is finally coming into being. The last two weeks have shown that the Raiders offense can put up points and the AFC West will be taking a whole new shape.

It’s been a while since we have been ranked that high, feels good!

A blonde comes home from a day of shopping and discovers that her house is on fire, so she calls the fire department on her cell phone.
“Please state the nature of your emergency,” says the operator.
“Help! My house is on fire!” the blonde replies.
“Okay, where do you live?”
“In a house you silly billy!” the blonde replies.
“No,no! How do we get there?” the operator asks fustratedly.
“Duh! Big Red Truck!!”

I agree with JerryMac, it doesnt matter what the refs do if you play well enough. And if you keep playing well enough then the refs will give respect and the calls will even out. Just bought my ticket to the Chefs game. Die Chef’s die.
November 1st, 2010 at 12:35 pm
lol… Moss gets waived!
